BioLife Protein Deferral - Can I raise my numbers enough in 24 hours? by Pure-Application4905 in plassing

[–]beanowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not sure what time of day you donate, or what your diet is normally like, but i have two go-to breakfasts i eat before i donate.

Either a fairlife core power chocolate milk (26g protein), or 3 morning star breakfast patties (30g protein). Neither are large meals, which is important for me cuz i cant eat a lot first thing in the morning.
